Mya Performs National Anthem

[dorker1992]

mya has big pretty eyes

[Wordless06]

That 'brave' was marvelous.

[amber31408]

mya has a pretty voice.

[hamzy456]

what happened to Mya again?

[ameenahmouse]

=DD`! Excellent job Mya is a great live singer!!!

[craziestbxboy]

not that bad good job mya

[mrmrskth]

she one of the few that get by with a pretty small voice and a pretty face

[andersonjr10151990]

It could have been better

[TruMuzikLover]

Man eff what yall talkin bout, she killed this in her own ay and I respect her 4 that. I'd like to see any one of you haters sinq the National Anthem

[MegaBabygurl95]

I love Mya,Aaliyah,Lena Horne

[youngcc7]

She actually did NICELY! Her ending was a LITTLE off... But I ENJOYED that!!!

[jlenoconel]

She did a good job.

[PsionicJedi]

She was too soft and shaky in the beginning but I thought she sounded really great from "and the rockets red glare" to the end.

[shandifox]

I love her soft voice...

[GimmeSouL]

oops..pitty..out of tune.. Maybe she just has not the range for the hymne..Not everybody can be a whitney or mariah, right..

[rhtek3]

The beginning was definitely shaky, but she picked it up at the end. Maybe she was nervous because we know she can sing way better than this.

[FoxyPhoenixFire]

*I loved the ending!*

[christopherjpaige]

This is a hard song to sing, it covers almost three octaves...and this is why normally a capella Star Spangled Banner performances are prerecorded - The feedback from the speakers is such that just even the Bernoulli effect would cause a seasoned singer to constantly try to readjust pitch. Try to sing this song in a stadium live, and then one can give a true informed opinion. I would say this isn't the best that I have heard her, but definitely not the worst.

[Level5Divo]

straight up a hot mess this is why Mya was not in aaliyah brandy or monicas vocal league. she could dance and I got all her albums but this right here...

[MERTIE123]

I don't think Brandy is all that great either.

[shenahdia1]

maybe if she sang with more confidence she would have sounded better. She sound nervous and pitchy.

[Beyoncefan1000]

just all out of tune loz!!!!

[varaques]

this is old and mya sings way better now & i remember when brandy couldn't sing when she first came out its called vocal lessions

[Starixy]

so, so off tune mya. why

[KarmaStarr7]

nice voice!

[tracey857]

lil off tune but I still like Mya

[Mylifethenurz]

sounds a shitty mess

[Captainkirk08]

I was hoping to find a National Anthem with Faith Evans but no luck

[tazzy775705]

aaliyah's voice is way stronger than hers and aaliyah was like 16 years old basically a kid now imagine if aaliyah would sing this today she probably be the beast at it

[Debooh661]

i couldnt say dat betta r.i.p aaliyah princess of R&B

[ChrisAtkinson93]

she started off a bit shaky... she sounded nervous... but worked it out by the middle part

[tristandrews]

Mya was just way off key singing girl you looked like you needed Aaliyah but thanks for picking up at the end

[cilver320]

Ok so this was really bad in the beginning but she definitely picket it up in the end . . .

[miamimann525]

i mean didnt sound great but it was alrite to me

[datrooth007]

horrible

[xxBeeDefenderxx]

Ok ppl need 2 stop thumbing down the ppl who said this was bad cause it was now i like mya but this was some bullshit she way better than this now but this was bad ok not her best performance at all not a good performance from her its not hating its called speaking the truth and she is not as good as brandy period How did brandy even come Up lol???

[sagehiphop]

she did good. her voice is way more powerful nowadays . Please people stop trying to compare these girls they were younger and all their voices have gotten stronger since. brandys performance was from 2003. mya is from 2001. it is 2009 now.

[blessedk100]

Everyone that said she sounded good need there damn ears checked cuz that was horrible. My five year old can sing better than that. Mya sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She only good in the studio.

[NICOVIACARTER]

all u bitches comparing Mya to all these other artist sayin she doesnt sound as good its because shes soft spoken and people had different tones.

[simdeaney]

amazing, fuck what you haters say. Going on about brandy b shit-get a life, D

[thediamondgoddess4L]

brandy is a tons better than this girl. You must be deaf. Brandy hit all the notes of the national anthem and stayed on key. Mya was way off. Don't be talking about brandy. How dare you. Douchebag.

[misterroyaltee]

i dont even remember her

[Toshue]

dat didn't sound good it sounded like she waz tryin 2 hurry up

[jonicoco]

This was wretched...

[ineedya123]

i think she did pretty good, she also has a limited voice so she makes the most of it

[JimmyJrock]

Anybody that thinks Brandy sings better than Mya is clearly a damn fool..

I've watched Brandy perform the Star Spangled Banner, and truthfully she struggled, strained, and almost passed out trying to hit notes that SHE KNOWS SHE CANNOT HIT. LMAO i mean really clean the wax out of your ears.

[wrightbrooks]

Are you serious? You are the fool to think Mya can sing better than Brandy. Brandy's voice is more soulful while Mya's is too soft at times. In my opinion, Brandy has Mya beat by a mile when it comes to singing.

[OneSongOneVoie]

Love Mya...But who said she was better than Brandy really??

[TonyHawkFan50]

she look like a barbie doll no ofence

[wiresxandxwaves]

definitely not the most powerful version, but I like the sweet, prettiness in the beginning. And she belted pretty well.

[turf09]

LMAO!!! belted wat?!?!?!

[54spiritedwill54]

i like her voice

[loblg88]

Some of you people need to understand that artists have different tones and styles of singing. Just because Myas voice doesn't sound like Jennifer hudsons, doesn't mean Jennifer sings "better". They have 2 very different beautiful tones and god given voices. The industry would be boring If everyone screamed when they sung, or sung with tiny voices.

[beyoncefan777]

i agree, hudson can sang but the screaming gets a little annoying after while, mya is like a breath of fresh air.

[bassclef2012]

@loblg88 the issue is she wasnt singing correctly notes and she changes voices throughout the song.

[DRisLegend200919]

@loblg88 i know mya has a really nice soothing voice

[justkarl05]

Well done. Great job.

[koodachild83]

oooooo... what the hell was those first 6 notes... she sound awful.. all off key

[bestnephew427]

can you please put up a video and sing the anthem please.i desperately want to see you do BETTER.HATER!!

[Janetjacksongurl]

She sang the word "Free" at the end so cute. She messed up a little on the brace at the end but she killed it at the same time. She's cute :)

[babycoop09]

its brave not brace

[Janetjacksongurl]

I meant to put brave. I wasn't really paying attention when I was typing and hit c because it's right next to v

[dori1017]

She was clearly nervous. I know she could have done better!! Mya can sang!! Just lost some confidence in the beginning but regained it at the end.

[mizzenvykii]

the ending where she started hittin the high notes gave me chills..she could sing, just need a lil training tho

[jerscat]

she is off key and sound like a little girl!

[chefmcclain]

not bad

[bsimmons8888]

she needs a stronger head voice, maybe some intensive vocal training

[pigsysteve]

man she was weak, people should of started booing her man, others who have stepped an sung have all teared it up

[loblg88]

She sounds flat in the beginning, but its not too bad. I've heard worse.

[TheBligeisMine09]

Im surprised that Mya fucked this song up so bad:-(

[BrookshawDee]

This was good...Nice Job!!

[meboobrat]

ashanti did worse

ashanti tried doin the high note at the end and fukd that shit up

[Heffort]

wayyyyy 2 much make up sweetie!!! i luve u tho

[sweatwhenucme]

mya sung this better than ashanti

[red1eye2003]

you a lie ashanti can't sang mya sing better then her

[sheleah101490]

OMG... too much makeup... she looks like a clown!!!

[Diwone12]

great job alittle soft but good and clean tahts my girl love you

[juanieboo23]

i thought that she did a good job and im not even a fan of hers

[Miguelito203]

I love her, but that sucked bad.

[BeBegun]

Yea!

[modelguy1989]

i think she kept it traditional and it sounded good for someone with a smaller voice most people with a that kind of range

[NICKYSYMONEE]

poor gurl

[BeBegun]

yeah

[Futuregoddess2010]

only people with really strong voices like jhud or whitney houston should sing this song! its not for everybody to sing especially if you're voice cant go that high. im not hating im just simply speaking the truth!

[cdj617]

MYA has a very good voice and she is mad talented... a lot of artist cannot sing this song like ashanti... mya let them haters keep hatin you a vet in the game and yet goin no where!

[PRINCEDEEK912]

bitch ashanti sang this 15 million times better than this ho

[kseke25]

does everybody have to sing that song??? not everybody can sing that song.

[sighT2C90]

she started out fuckin it up but as she got into it it was good...yea she changed some of the notes bt at least she realizes that she CANT hit them rather than hittin it an suckin ass lik SOME PPL...smfh..

[SteezyBlacc]

damn mya is to cute

[taytayboss]

The brave was HELLA filthy!!

[gswaggachic]

yes it was

[Machelle3200]

oh no boo boo...my daughter sings louder than this.....

[Machelle3200]

well the end was good....except for the brave...

[thegurrl112]

has britney spears sings the national anthem?

I can't found it?

[justagirl27]

hopefully she did not!

[kayerose17]

wowzers....i was expecting her to sing really loud, and then this lol..good job for the soft voice though jsut really low

[SquirrelGurl1]

i luv mya but she was scooping...thats a no no...still luv u boo

[mrsmeinit]

Sorry but I perfer a blowout performance she sounds like a 3rd grader

[legalhustla2009]

lmao this is Mya people! Did you expect her to blow? She's a damn doll baby with a super baby voice! *just stop trying to correct all the notes you mess up, just let them go and move on* LOL (bad advice I know)

[lizzleblizzle]

the end is crap...

she can't sing low.. but also not high. what's that?!

[drewpdrew2004]

Damn,that shit sucked...she's whispering.Her voice is high but she has no control of her voice.Its all over the place.All I can say is MYA...stop singing...

[DRlovesjessicaalba]

i like her voice

[DRlovesjessicaalba]

i like her voice

[4733whuron]

not good pitchy and too low

[4everunchanging]

it's low because she's an alto

[Lyyrix]

nervous

[jumpcc]

that was hott she just didnt try to over do it like beyonce and the others she did her own style...it was hott i loved it

[queenb107yahoocom]

sweet and simple with a little drama!! ily mya!!!

[jaydiarae]

Dang! I ain seen my girl in years it seems like. She a lil tone deaf but she made me proud when she started gettin' loud wit it! Gone Mz Mya!!!

[daone502]

i feel the same.

[Marvinglz]

Not good.

[cautionlight357]

Great song, great face. i always love her. hope she come out with something

[clout2k]

..............

[djollyboy]

not bad but beyonce was the best

[basewoman]

it kinda looks like she was nerves

[DeLawrence2Aaliyah]

She went from soft and safe to confident and beautiful. I find it kind of funny cuz i kno at first the audience was like "she can't sing, Oh my God...get off the field!" then after she got a little more confident they wanna start cheering. I think she is underrated and people should give her more credit. If not she may end of just like Aaliyah (no one really gave her that credit she deserved until she died and that was a shame!)

[brokencrayolazs]

lmao @ 45 seconds. I think she was just terribly nervous but the end sounded so much better than the beginning. Why didnt she just sing the whole song in chest voice then doing that crap she did in the beginning. I like how she sang brave once you got past the part when she sounded off key when singing brave at first.

[Cococure83]

Wow it really aint half as bad as you kaing it out to be. I was scared to even watch it after reading the comments lol. She sounded scared to start but soon picked up and held notes beautifully. She kinda threw me off with the start if the "brave" but she corrected it at toward the end. she did good.

[BeautyU2U]

She was looking all shy and scared...and it SOUNDED like that too. She lost me.

[mendose]

I like Mya but holy crap.../puke.

[chaddavis12]

lol look at the dude at 0:37 and 0:44. they are like wtf?!

[LindeCaroline]

OMG, friggin' hell, what's she trying to do at 'brave' o_o

She started crap, the the high parts were good, the end was kinda scary and weird.

[boybeyoncebitch]

wtf!? when she was singing low it was in falsetto and when she was singing high it was chest voice. how do these people sing in the studio?

[shelana2008]

i loved the end i wish she sang more high notez because she has it..beautifull voice!!

[MahBadd]

Aw her her voice so little lol

[pianogurl86]

Mya played wit this song

[CameronTGD]

Hell no. i can't here her ass

[aeiouandytoo2]

ew. what's up with all that crap she did on 'free'? that annoys me along with the fact that she changed a lot of notes...whats up Mya?

[blkrican1984]

DUH!!! everyone don't sing the national anthem the same way!!! Thats what makes it good!

[BOSSIEGURL]

yea da ending was better den da beginning

[xoxmellymelxox]

she's a fucking LEGEND!

[bkcktcrisp]

I thought she did good without singing any of the lower notes... =) I don't think I can do that. Thanks for sharing the video

[qdieatta]

what a mess

[cobzbabes]

at the begining she looks like something out of star trek

[brokencrayolazs]

lmaaooooo

[Trwkeys]

she's so cute

[JYGUYG]

she is so pretty

[Jamaalq7]

begginin was horrible end was fantastic

[rissadisney1793]

SHE DiD GOOD

[yeedowgie]

she sound white at da begginig

[biggburd19]

lol

[GAslickmouf]

Mya did good, but at the start she sound like a kid, Mya can sing, she did really good at the end note.

Mya is hot she can really sing, she should have practice a little more.

[podevil]

that last note is what i was looking for in mya

[OliviaNetwork]

When she gets to "And the rockets red glare,,," Thats when she really starts to sing..IDK wtf she was doing at the beginining but I love Mya!

[trentnjones]

I thought she did a great job. You don't have to belt this song and people always forget that. She sounded crisp and comfortable.

[RnBChiqqa]

the start was bullshit the rest okay she could do it better

[haroldwashington07]

mya be playing when she know she can sing

[antmarqueztv]

right lol

[crmsunyungui]

LOL 0:45 he was like WTF?

[haroldwashington07]

LOL

[kerrina16]

lmao

[JazzellWilliams]

wow.i thought nhe was gon kill it..she all whisperin lol

[1superstarjames]

omg that ending was sick!

[bigjoy]

SICK AS IN HORRIBLE,RIGHT?

[lilming23]

she sounds better when she use the power that we all kno she has

[steffon05]

i don't really this one, but it was aight

[nickanylaboo]

i love that ending it was like church, mya did beautiful

[bigjoy]

I dont know what church YOU go to, but shit sucked!

[MSzHollyWoodDivah]

she cant sing this song but she can sing though but nt this

[inekdahl]

it was bad

[goldenbrowntone]

wow mya did good

[diamepiece]

Wow she didn't do bad. She stayed in her range and I like the ending. Great job Mya

[EdyElleJ]

true tru..kelly could have done better with the powerfull voice she has...

btter than ashantis tho lol..

i myself will be singgint he national anthem!

on june 2nd!

[aprilshowers7159]

i didn't really like her version... :(

[LilColombianMan]

when she sang the anthem in 2005, it was better. if she was to sing it now, she would sing the crap out of it. see my video of her diary entry #3.

[baysass]

shes no monica but she did really really good

[JANETMADONNA]

Work Mya make them all know the fuckin' shade.

A soft voice mind you.

SHE DID GREAT LOVE MYA

[sexypeco]

funny how beyonce was the ONLY singer that used that "certain button". she lipsynced it. and that's all I gotta say. that echo shit is the proof, and she didnt have no fuckin echos. when she was belting, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to turn off some echos. especially with beyonce's vibrato.

[ryeboirox]

she sounded like a young britney spears in some parts. i like the attitude at the end but her voice is so soft. you gotta love mya but her star apangled banner wasnt the worst nor the best. if it were better than anybodys it would be kelly clarksons. and maybe rihannas version

[cokacolla]

i agree she does sound alot like Britney at some parts..and yeah, it wasnt that great, but it was better than ashanti's, rihannas, but NOT better than Kelly Clarksons..though hers want not that hot also.

[ryeboirox]

i actually like ashantis. my favorite though would be whitneys christinas(one in 2004 and the other in 2006) and beyonces. the best in this order: whitney mariah celine christina beyonce carrie jessica destinys child vonzell solomon ashanti jojo kelly clarkson mya rihanna

[NiNiBABii3]

she sanq iit too low.. buh she can siinq.!!!*

[yungjoca]

it was aight she sound like a lil kid

[BuffyYazzy]

I'm sorry but that was pretty bloody crap. Possibly the worst rendition ever! I just watched Shanice sing it and it was so rich and full of soul. Mariah and Whitney did brilliant jobs too. This was just weak.

[emynona2000]

I actually think that she did well.

[bluenotes1981]

She did way better than Ashanti thats for sure.

[cofield11]

omg you r not allowed to lipsync the ssp that's why they pick the artist early dumasses

[babieinlove09]

the sounds off with the picture... but i dont like her voice

[onjiel]

beyonce lip singed and so did mya at least you couldn't hardly tell bey's you could actually see mya lip singing NOW.

[sexypeco]

mya didnt lip sync this

[mcgde0]

how the hell u go say beyonce lip sung when she sings the same acapella u are a dumb ass

Ooooh pls, this is like the worse rendition I've heard, this song is too big for her, and shows just how weak her voice is!
